I bought this dutch oven because it was enamelled. I have two others and I will use this in place of the non-enamelled one that I have which I still use. I will use this for bread, soups, stews, slow baking, etc. I find that I use dutch ovens more often in place of my oven and slow cooker. I recently made a beef stew using a Southern Living recipe which closely matched what I had at the family table when I was much younger and was happy with the results. I just washed it and seasoned the rims on the oven and lid and touch it up after using it.

I purchased 2 of these Dutch ovens for Christmas gifts. After seeing how excited my daughter-in-law was about hers, I decided to purchase one for myself. We own a motor home, travel frequently, and I like to use my induction cooktop while traveling. The fact I could use this pot at home and on the road was an added plus. Beautiful visually and performs wonderfully. The only con is,that when it is full of food it is heavy for me (65 yrs old) to handle on my own. Otherwise, I highly recommend this item.

Love this pot. Wonderful for the holidays and any family gatherings. Prepare lots of food in this 7 quart pot. Cooks beautiful, food umm umm good and easy clean up. Think this may be to big for your family, think again. Once friends and family know your cooking, your house may seems to little as they gather. Good food, family and friends, what’s better.

My Dutch oven arrived on time in a well protected package. It is a beautiful blue color. It’s big enough to cook my favorite whole wheat bread in the oven and I am able to stew my favorite meats and veggies. I’m glad I chose this size because it can do everything for me large or small. It’s easy to clean. And you can’t beat the price.

I was looking for a large Dutch Oven to replace another 6 quart pot that I had so that I could use it in and on the range. I've used it about 5 times so far and I have no complaints. It was inexpensive and it looks and cooks great. I think it's a steal.

I purchased this more for the aesthetic than the functionality. I am renovating the kitchen, and thought this would look beautiful on the stovetop. I do plan to use it though! I also love the gold handle on top of the lid - perfect for my white and gold kitchen!

My Wife has been wanting one for a long time. She wanted one for making fried chicken. One of her best dishes! When I saw the price($29), I made it a point to make to the one day sale(ordered it online and free shipping). And it came in her fav color, purple. It was for Christmas , but gave it to her early. She loves it. Her chicken cooks so well in it and I've made ham & bean. Gonna get other size. Best all around pot we ever got!

This is a great pot. The price is excellent. I have lots of more expensive Le Creuset and this pot is just as good. In fact, a better deal for the price. I love the size. It’s perfect for simmering and making soups and stews, one pot dinners, etc. I’ve already used it many times. It is very heavy but then it’s cast iron so that should be expected and it’s one of the reasons it cooks so well. Either stove top or oven it performed wonderfully. It cleans up well in the dishwasher and even by hand. I would definitely recommend it. It would make a wonderful gift for someone of even yourself.

I have had this dutch oven for a few years and recently purchased one for my daughter. I don't know how I got along without it before that. It is excellent for roasting, braising, stews, and as a bread baker. Clean up is easy even with baked on messes. Every cook should have one of these and at this low price there is no reason they shouldn't.

Love the size of this dutch oven for a great price. A little disappointed in the color. The purple is more of a burgundy. The color is the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Still beautiful but not what I thought I was purchasing. This was a gift for someone.
